Re: 2023 Work in Progress..ive
MONARCH TRAIL
Art Ken Baird has given us another jewel of his a nice Christmas gift ABOUT MONARCH TRAIL ...from Official Website and progarchives.com Monarch Trail biography Founded in Dundas, Ontario, Canada in 2014 Mostly known for his works as a solo artist, Canadian keyboardist and composer Ken BAIRD would expand his activities after no less than five solo albums and come up with the trio of Monarch Trail, a project formed out of the need of Baird to produce music in a more teamwork status.Bassist Dino Verginella and drummer Chris Lamont, who completed the line-up, were both featured in Baird's previous albums. As guitars were also part of Monarch Trail's compositions, they were helped during the sessions of their debut by John Mamone, Kelly Kereliuk and Steve Cochrane.The first work of the band ''Skye'' was partly inspired by the drawings of Annette Roche, so naturally some of them became part of the album's artwork, a record eventually released in April 2014 and based on the principles of the Neo Prog/Symphonic Rock genres. December 17th, 2023 The fourth Monarch Trail album, “Four Sides” is released today! Much later than I would have hoped in the year, but at least we get to match up with a personal favourite album’s release date of mine, Genesis/”Wind and Wuthering”, released on December 17th of 1976! Not that our album bears much resemblance to that famous album, but it is our longest album to date; effectively a “double album” of 74 minutes which fits onto one CD (but we hope to get it to LP one day where it will indeed be “Four Sides”) The first three “sides” are all “side-long” epic-length tracks and the fourth side is split into two songs. For now, we have it available for download or CD at bandcamp and will soon be available at Just for Kicks in Germany as well as other stores—we’ll try to keep a list of these stores here as they appear Here’s the direct bandcamp link to Four Sides, we hope you like it!

NICK FLETCHER
ABOUT NICK FLETCHER ...from Official Website biography Nick is a guitarist and composer. He has been playing the guitar and writing music professionally since 1981, starting out after leaving Music College as a classical guitarist and guitar teacher but also embarked on a career as a session guitarist. Nick has played in many bands with the likes of Dave Bainbridge and Tim Harries, who was previously the bassist with Bill Bruford’s ‘Earthworks’. In 1991 Nick started to concentrate more on his solo performing, arranging and composing music for the classical guitar. This resulted in curtailing his work with the electric guitar for 25 years! In this time he has had over 80 compositions published by the Canadian music publisher Productions d'oZ> and over 100 published song arrangements by ‘Integrity Music’. He has recorded many CD’s of classical guitar music as a soloist and with John Hackett as part of the Fletcher /Hackett guitar and flute duo, receiving fantastic reviews in Classical guitar magazine and the guitar foundation of America ( GFA ) soundboard publication. In 2014 Nick performed live, and was featured on the BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ program, presented by Sean Rafferty. His music has been played regularly on Classic Fm. In the mid 1990’s Nick was a record producer for Kingsway records and made a number of successful Celtic recordings and co produced the album ‘Breaking of the Dawn’ with prog maestro Dave Bainbridge. In 2015 Nick once again took up performing and recording with the electric guitar after being invited to join the John Hackett Band. Since that time Nick has received numerous great reviews of his writing and playing in the Prog Rock genre, as well as his continuing career as classical musician. Nick has also performed and recorded with Steve Hackett who said this about the recording of ‘Overnight snow’ by Nick & John Hackett‘; ‘I was blown away by the material John and Nick had recorded and it was a pleasure to add a second guitar to the recording.’ This musical background makes Nick a very different guitar player who writes and plays in a unique way, particularly when playing the electric guitar.' In 2018 Nick released the album ‘Beyond the Stars’ on the Esoteric Antenna label along with co writer John Hackett. This too collected many excellent plaudits in the prog media and had a rave review of his performance with the John Hackett Band at Progdreams Festival Holland in 2019. ‘...Nick Fletcher is probably the best jazz rock guitarist in the country. His fluency is astounding, plus he possesses a first rate classical guitar technique to boot! I consider Nick Fletcher to be an absolute star’… Steve Hackett 2020 Nick Fletcher - Quadrivium The new solo album by the guitarist of the John Hackett Band Musicians involved The album's contributors are (as always) co-producer and mixer Caroline Bonnett (keyboards), Dave Bainbridge (known from Iona, Strawbs, keyboards on 3,5 & 6) and Tim Harries (bass, known for Iona, Steeleye Span, Bruford's Earthworks). Special attention is paid to the drummer of the album, Anika Nilles (Jeff Beck). There are photos of her in the booklet and the album is also promoted using her nam Aphelion 7:25 the track I chose In astronomy, aphelion is the point at which a planet is at its greatest distance from the sun. But the music is not that far removed from the life-giving powers of the sun. The rough, raw guitar playing sounds quite grounded, interrupted by pearly piano cascades. The drums swirl, drive and even have a little solo at minute 4:30. The Mahavishu Orchestra or Brand X send their regards in this beautifully grooving jazz rock piece. Where does Nick get these incredible melodies? They enchant us, leave us happy.

Re: 2023 Work in Progress..ive
LALU
ABOUT LALU ...from progarchives.com Lalu biography LALU is a Prog-Metal conceptual outing from French keyboardist/composer Vivien Lalu of SHADRANE and HUBI MEISEL, initiated during the fall of 2003.After working two times as composer for ex-DREAMSCAPE vocalist HUBI MEISEL, LALU felt that it was time to finally produce an album of his own and compose music without restrictions. Using leftovers from the actual Meisel sessions and other ideas he had on tape since a while, Vivien named his debut album "Oniric Metal" after the comments of some people who described his music as a kind of "dream" or "mood" metal. While some parts try to maintain the same "dreamy" vibe, the material sounds more aggressive than ever. Vivien recruited a few session players to help him realize his vision. None could have done a better job on "Oniric Metal". than the solid team of Ryan Van Poederooyen (from the DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND on drums), Russell Bergquist (formerly of ANNIHILATOR on bass) and JoOp Wolters (Dutch guitar virtuoso pf THE JoOP WOLTERS TRIO,ARABESQUE) together. For the vocal duties, Vivien called up for Martin LeMar (frontman for german proggers TOMORROW'S EVE) to join him and bring the music to another level. "Oniric Metal" has been critically acclaimed worldwide and LALU changed its lineup to a more stable "band" lineup, in order to be able to tour in the future (the members basically coming from different continents). With a style similar to AYREON or DREAM THEATER,LALU is highly recommended for progressive metal fans.

NEXUS
ABOUT NEXUS ...from progarchives.com Nexus biography Founded in Morón, Buenos Aires, Argentina (late 70's) - Still active as of 2017 This Argentine quintet has its roots in the Seventies when a group of schoolboys from the capital Buenos Aires were impressed by the symphonic rock and soon NEXUS was born. Eventually a dream came true but not until the end of the Nineties when NEXUS eventually released their first album entitled "Detras Del Umbral" in '99. The impressive sound is very bombastic and loaded with great keyboards. The female vocals are strong and powerful and also give the music an emotional value in order to avoid 'technical overkill'. Most obvious hints are from ELP (Hammond organ play), mid-GENESIS (lush symphonic sound) and MARILLION (synthesizer flights). A year later NEXUS performed on the annual USA prog rock festival Nearfest, this concert was captured on CD entitled "Live at Nearfest 2000". NEXUS presented most of their first album, a keyboard-solo and the title track from their forthcoming album "Metanoia". This more mature CD was released in 2001 and is one of the highlights of the current South-American prog rock. Worldwide prog rock fans are longing for the next album, they are already waiting for three years. The album "Metanoia" is one of the best prog rock releases of the last five years! The sound is impressive with very lush and bombastic keyboards (with echoes from ELP, GENESIS and the Japanese prog rock) and due to the more dominant guitar play the sound of NEXUS often evokes IQ (the albums "Ever" and "Dark Matter") but also early HACKETT solo and of course mid-GENESIS. The 24-carat symphonic rock compositions are compelling with lots of captivating changes of climate and splendid solos on keyboard (organ and synthesizers) and guitar. The powerful female Spanish vocals fit perfect to all atmospheres, what a great voice. In my opinion this album offers all the elements that makes symphonic rock so worth listening! : : : Erik Neuteboom, The NETHERLANDS : : : Fan & official Prog Archives collaborator Hi friends 2023 Work in Progress..ive These are my best tracks of 2023 Track Title-Group or Artist-Album I'm Done with You-RIVERSIDE-ID.ENTITY Life Lines-SUNCHILD-Exotic Creatures and a Stolen Dream Scanning The Dark Horizon-JOHN IRVINE-Scanning The Dark Horizon Memories in a Box-SINGLE CELLED ORGANISM-EVENT HORIZON To_find_the_light_part_two-GREAT WIDE NOTHING-Hymns for Hungry Spirits, Vol. II Ghosts From The Future-OVERHEAD-Telepathic Minds (Disc 1) King_of_the_world-RPWL-Crime Scene(Disc 1) No Man's Land-TNNE-LIFE 3.0 Mysterious Forest, Pt. 1-KARFAGEN-Passage to the Forest of Mysterious Something New-MARTIN MILLER-Maze of My Mind Kill_the_sun_and_the_moon_and_the_stars-THE BLACK CAT'S EYE-The Empty Space Between A Seamount And Shock-Headed Julia Gargantuan.(Part One)-AMPLIFIER-Hologram The Beauty and the Least-MYSTERY-Redemption Scratches-INNER PROSPEKT-Canvas Three All Connected-YES-Mirror to the sky Summer Lies Beyond-COMEDY OF ERRORS-THRENODY FOR A DEAD QUEEN The Sacred Law of Retribution-TRITOP-RISE OF KASSANDRA Ingravita-BUHO ERMITANO-IMPLOSIONES Danger-ELOY-ECHOES FROM THE PAST Naturens katedral-LARS FREDRIK FRØISLIE-FIRE FORTELLINGER Ur askan-AGUSA-PRIMA MATERIA The 11th Chapter: The Nine, including a) The Fire (pt II), b) A Nonagon in Eight -RING VAN MÖBIUS-Commissioned Works Pt II - Six Drops of Poison Journey to the Center of the Mind -MARCO RAGNI-HALLUCINATORY EMBRYO Poker -I VIAGGI DI MADELEINE-TRA LUCE E OMBRA The Gathering-SKY PASSAGE-The Gathering Moving Through Tomorrow-SOUTHERN EMPIRE-Another World Tell Me-KARMAMOI-STRINGS FROM THE EDGE OF SOUND Liquid Suite-LA BOCCA DELLA VERITA-[Un]connected Stronghold -THE FLOWER KINGS-LOOK AT YOU NOW Helen-UNITOPIA-SEVEN CHAMBERS Actual Brutal Facts-STEVEN WILSON-THE HARMONY CODEX A Hymn for the Pioneers-SYNTH REPLICANTS-Time of Legends Push-TREVOR RABIN-Rio Labyrinthus-IL BALLETTO DI BRONZO-Lemures Hydra-SEVEN IMPALE-Summit The River-THIS WINTER MACHINE-The Clockwork man Lotus Unfolding-OZRIC TENTACLES-Lotus Unfolding i/o -PETER GABRIEL-I/O THE LONG GOODBYE-GALAHAD-THE LONG GOODBYE I Can Fly-CEN-PROJEKT-Dark Clouds Noone but ourselves-APOGEE-Through the Gate The Oldest of Treess-MONARCH TRAIL-FOUR SIDES Aphelion-NICK FLETCHER-Quadrivium Reflections on Copper-DAMANEK-Making Shore Amnesia 1916-LALU-THE FISH WHO WANTED TO BE KING Insania-NEXUS-Insania Insania-NEXUS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeNv...K2HYTM&index=4 GOOD LISTENING

MOON SAFARI
ABOUT MOON SAFARI ...from official website Moon Safari formed in 2003. The first line-up was formed of keyboardist and singer Simon Åkesson, guitarist and singer Petter Sandström, bassist Johan Westerlund, guitarist Anthon Johansson, and drummer Tobias Lundgren, lasting until 2005. They released four studio albums, recorded and mixed by the group and released on their own label, Blomljud Records. Their first, A Doorway to Summer (2005) was produced by Tomas Bodin, the keyboardist of fellow Swedish progressive rock band The Flower Kings. It evokes themes of summer, the sun, and light in general as a comforting and hopeful concept. In their double album Blomljud (2008), Swedish for “Flower Sound”, themes of flowers and nature prevail throughout, with science fiction themes also playing a key role. Lover’s End (2010) juxtaposes the story of a painful breakup with themes of nascent love, illustrating and accentuating emotions commonly associated with the stages before, during, and after a romantic relationship. Their EP Lover’s End Pt. III: Skellefteå Serenade (2012) functions as a continuation of the breakup story described in Lover’s End, with an additional emphasis on the powerful feelings associated with one’s hometown. It also develops and reprises themes from the songs Lover’s End Pt. I and Lover’s End Pt. II. Their first live album The Gettysburg Address (2012) was recorded at a performance in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and features songs from their first three studio albums. Their fourth studio album, Himlabacken Vol. 1 (2013), Swedish for “Heaven Hill”, is about the band’s childhoods, growing up, and responsibilities of adulthood. The musical style of Moon Safari is characterised by a symphonic rock sound with five-part vocal harmonies, something that the group struggled with at first until Simon taught the band how to perform them as each one could sing. Rundgren later said the harmonies soon became second nature. Simon Åkesson and Petter Sandström each perform lead vocals, with both of their voices often providing solo vocal melodies. However, all six members contribute to the vocal aspect of their music. Many of their melodies are sung as full vocal harmonies, and a number of their songs feature a capella sections. Major keys comprise the majority of their music, with minor keys often featured only in specific sections of their songs. They list their influences as The Beatles, and notable progressive rock bands Genesis, Marillion, IQ, and Yes, among others. Current Members: Petter Sandström – lead vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica (2003–present) Simon Åkesson – lead vocals, lead keyboards (2003–present) Johan Westerlund – bass, backing vocals (2003–present) Pontus Åkesson – guitars, backing vocals (2005–present) Sebastian Åkesson – keyboards, guitars, backing vocals (2008–present) Mikael Israelsson – drums, percussion, backing vocals (2015–present) Hi friends 2023 Work in Progress..ive These are my best tracks of 2023 Track Title-Group or Artist-Album I'm Done with You-RIVERSIDE-ID.ENTITY Life Lines-SUNCHILD-Exotic Creatures and a Stolen Dream Scanning The Dark Horizon-JOHN IRVINE-Scanning The Dark Horizon Memories in a Box-SINGLE CELLED ORGANISM-EVENT HORIZON To_find_the_light_part_two-GREAT WIDE NOTHING-Hymns for Hungry Spirits, Vol. II Ghosts From The Future-OVERHEAD-Telepathic Minds (Disc 1) King_of_the_world-RPWL-Crime Scene(Disc 1) No Man's Land-TNNE-LIFE 3.0 Mysterious Forest, Pt. 1-KARFAGEN-Passage to the Forest of Mysterious Something New-MARTIN MILLER-Maze of My Mind Kill_the_sun_and_the_moon_and_the_stars-THE BLACK CAT'S EYE-The Empty Space Between A Seamount And Shock-Headed Julia Gargantuan.(Part One)-AMPLIFIER-Hologram The Beauty and the Least-MYSTERY-Redemption Scratches-INNER PROSPEKT-Canvas Three All Connected-YES-Mirror to the sky Summer Lies Beyond-COMEDY OF ERRORS-THRENODY FOR A DEAD QUEEN The Sacred Law of Retribution-TRITOP-RISE OF KASSANDRA Ingravita-BUHO ERMITANO-IMPLOSIONES Danger-ELOY-ECHOES FROM THE PAST Naturens katedral-LARS FREDRIK FRØISLIE-FIRE FORTELLINGER Ur askan-AGUSA-PRIMA MATERIA The 11th Chapter: The Nine, including a) The Fire (pt II), b) A Nonagon in Eight -RING VAN MÖBIUS-Commissioned Works Pt II - Six Drops of Poison Journey to the Center of the Mind -MARCO RAGNI-HALLUCINATORY EMBRYO Poker -I VIAGGI DI MADELEINE-TRA LUCE E OMBRA The Gathering-SKY PASSAGE-The Gathering Moving Through Tomorrow-SOUTHERN EMPIRE-Another World Tell Me-KARMAMOI-STRINGS FROM THE EDGE OF SOUND Liquid Suite-LA BOCCA DELLA VERITA-[Un]connected Stronghold -THE FLOWER KINGS-LOOK AT YOU NOW Helen-UNITOPIA-SEVEN CHAMBERS Actual Brutal Facts-STEVEN WILSON-THE HARMONY CODEX A Hymn for the Pioneers-SYNTH REPLICANTS-Time of Legends Push-TREVOR RABIN-Rio Labyrinthus-IL BALLETTO DI BRONZO-Lemures Hydra-SEVEN IMPALE-Summit The River-THIS WINTER MACHINE-The Clockwork man Lotus Unfolding-OZRIC TENTACLES-Lotus Unfolding i/o -PETER GABRIEL-I/O THE LONG GOODBYE-GALAHAD-THE LONG GOODBYE I Can Fly-CEN-PROJEKT-Dark Clouds Noone but ourselves-APOGEE-Through the Gate The Oldest of Treess-MONARCH TRAIL-FOUR SIDES Aphelion-NICK FLETCHER-Quadrivium Reflections on Copper-DAMANEK-Making Shore Amnesia 1916-LALU-THE FISH WHO WANTED TO BE KING Insania-NEXUS-Insania Teen Angel Meets The Apocalypse-MOON SAFARI- Himlabacken Vol. 2 Teen Angel Meets The Apocalypse-MOON SAFARI https://moonsafari.bandcamp.com/trac...the-apocalypse GOOD LISTENING

PALLAS
ABOUT PALLAS ...from official website Pallas biography Formed in Aberdeen, UK in 1980 (before that as "Rainbow") - Hiatus between 1987-1998 - Still active as of 2019 PALLAS is, after MARILLION, and along with IQ and PENDRAGON, one of the most important acts of the Eighties Progressive rebirth. This is an energetic and magnificent neo progressive band in the style of IQ/MARILLION but with more edge. Their music is centered on melodic hooks, loud sound and great voice. "The Sentinel" brings a tint of pop in a still elaborate progressive spectrum. Scottish prog band PALLAS definitely have one of the longest gaps between albums on record. They released their first album, "The Sentinel" in 1984 and followed it up with "The Wedge" two years later. Their next album, "Beat the Drum" (72 minutes of music with epic accents, rock rhythms and style, and ballads full of feeling), did not show up for 13 years. It will be followed by the wonderful "The Cross And The Crucible" in 2001. This album features all the things prog fans are looking for - atmospheric keyboards, great guitar tunes and a well working rhythm section - and last but not least an vocalist with an very own style. Highly recommended to fans of neo Progressive style.
